EPISODE #49
THE SPIRIT OF HARRIET TUBMAN WITH SPRING WASHAM

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

When we live a mystical life anything is possible, especially being able to receive communication from spirits regardless of when they were in a living human form. In this episode of The Conscious Diva, I am talking to Spring Washam. Spring is a well-known spiritual teacher who was spontaneously contacted by Harriet Tubman to share her wisdom of living from the heart. I asked Spring who Harriet Tubman the mystic is, and why she is relevant today?

This conversation with acclaimed Buddhist teacher Spring Washam was profound. I am so thankful to Spring for her beautiful new book, “The Spirit of Harriet Tubman - AWAKENING FROM THE UNDERGROUND” - which is not a scholarly work or historical account of Harriet Tubman's life, but rather a work explaining a transmission of divine wisdom as a true awakened being. 

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS EPISODE INCLUDE:

  • Spring shares a historical snapshot of Harriet Tubmans' incredible achievements. 

  • The Dharma of Harriet Taubman and the Underground railroad.

  • Spring shares how Harriet is the right kind of Deity for our collective wound of racism.

  • Harriet's message of living from our heart is shared as a practice of learning how to heal our ancestors by asking: Who am I, Who, am I really? 

  • Freedom through consciousness – freeing ourselves from our mental prison and conditioning that shapes our lives and program us to believe non-truths about ourselves.

  • I share how I felt this book was written by both Harriet and Spring, as well as a personal experience I had from reading “The Spirit of Harriet Tubman - AWAKENING FROM THE UNDERGROUND”.
